patch to make window transparency adjustable with the mousewheel

Description Christoph Richter 2005-01-10 16:18:23 CET
I've hacked a little feature into xfwm4.2rc2: scrolling your mousewheel on a
window's border changes its opacity. Although I rarely make use of
translucent windows, I find it really convenient to change the window
transparency that way.

I hope you like that idea and it gets implemented into xfwm4 one day.

The patch also contains a tiny change to compositor.c: Translucent
windows tend to get a bit dark, due to their underlying shadow. I
changed the formula for the shadow's darkness to be proportional to
the window's opacity^2, which does look a bit better to my eyes.

Thanx for that wonderful DE!

small error corrected with overflowing guint c-opacity with transset

corrected small error with overflow guint c->opacity after incresing opacity
when transset has been used  before ( other opacity than step ) .
